The paper proposes a text-mining based analytical framework aiming at the cognitive organization of complex scientific discourses. The approach is based on models recently developed in science mapping, being a generalization of the so-called Science Overlay Mapping methodology, referred to as Topic Overlay Mapping (TOM). It is shown that via applications of TOM in visualization, document cluste...

ion, ontology and task-guidance for visual perception in robots Matthias J. Schlemmer and Markus Vincze Vienna University of Technology, Automation and Control Institute 1040, Vienna, Gusshausstrasse 27-29/E376, Austria [email protected] Abstract. In this paper we summarise theoretical work on visual perception for cognitive robotics. We study the use of logic-based ontologies for sit...

The human brain is a superbly marvelous and extremely complicated neurophysiological structure for generating natural intelligence that transforms cognitive information into colorful behaviors. The brain is the most complex and interesting objects in nature that requires rigorous scientific investigations by multidisciplinary methodologies and via transdisciplinary approaches where only low-lev...

This paper describes the application of cognitive mapping techniques, for eliciting and representing cognitive structure, to the problem of user requirement capture for the design of an electronic database. The research is based upon the assumption that organising information so as to be compatible with the structure of users' knowledge will enhance information retrieval by supporting more effe...

Artificial intelligence researchers have produced many computational theories of cognitive mapping. However, few of their ideas have been adapted to mobile robots. This paper outlines a new computational theory of cognitive mapping and then describes an attempt to implement the main properties of the theory on an actual mobile robot. Naturally, the theory needs to be modified to accommodate the...

This paper describes the Structure-Mapping Engine (SME), a cognitive simulation program for studying human analogical processing. SME is based on Gentner’s Structure-Mapping theory of analogy, and provides a “tool kit” for constructing matching algorithms consistent with this theory. This flexibility enhances cognitive simulation studies by simplifying experimentation. Furthermore, SUE is very ...

The aim of this work is to build a cognitive model for the humanoid robot, especially, we are interested in the navigation and mapping on the humanoid robot. The agents used are the Alderbaran NAO robot. The framework is effectively applied to the integration of AI, computer vision, and signal processing problems. Our model can be divided into two parts, cognitive mapping and perception. Cognit...

Current navigation systems provide clear guidance for moving from one place to another while taking little explicit account of traditional strategies for route planning. This study observed twelve older people working in pairs planning a route with the aim of extracting the benefits to older people for using their lifelong procedures. Conclusions include that personal requirements for routes ar...

Information requirements determination (IRD) is arguably one of the most challenging and important tasks of information systems development (ISD). This paper reports on an action research study which involved the use of a soft management science/operational research approach, namely Strategic Options Development and Analysis (SODA) and its accompanying technique, cognitive mapping, applied to t...
